dangerous to the imperial prerogative, As they consist of the ruling classes they may be fitly styled the Bureaucrats, The dissolution of the Diet has arison through a clash between the two sides, the Dick, which was elected to support the popular OzUMA Ministry, being in the main composed of Constitutionalists, while the Ministry is decidedly bureau cratic, and was, indeed, selected, not with reference to the composition of the Dick, but to the supposed exigencies of the political situation.

It does not necessarily follow that the government approved by the Diet is a good government; in fact, in too many cases the Diet has shown a lack of re- sponsibility in regard to the measures laid before it which does it no credit. Measures of importance and of great benefit to the people, but conflicting with some special interest, have been laid aside again and again, and, when passed, havo been so whittled down as to fail to achieve all that was intended. This in ability of the Diet to appreciate sound legislation, its more or less open venality, and its lack of knowledge and under- standing of foreign affairs have certainly led to its discredit among those upon whom the responsibilities of government bave fallen.___The_painful necessity of meeting the Diet every year and getting
